PHILADKl.l'HIA AND RKADIMJ DEFi 1 1 AT READINli, PA. 



\ 71 JHILE the major portion of the residents of this section of 
' ^ the country are familiar with the name of the Philadelphia 
and Reading Railroad, yet very few fully realize the magnitude 
or importance of that Company. The position it occupies as the 
means of transportation can partially be appreciated, when it is 
stated that the system comprises two thousand and eighty-seven 
miles of track, penetrating the richest mineral and agricultural 
region on the continent; that the Company runs six hundred and 
forty-six passenger trains daily, in addition to the innumerable 
coal and freight trains, and transports annually upwards of 
16,000,000 passengers and 25,000,000 tons of freiL,'ht. 

Originally constructed with a view to the transportation of 
coal from the great anthracite fields of Pennsylvania to tide-water, 
this road has developed into one of the most complete, powerful 
and efficient railway systems in the United States. 

The Company was incorporated in 1833, and that portion of 
the line extending from Reading to Philadelphia (fifty-eight miles) 
was completed in 1839; the first train passing over it on 



SUMMER SYLVAN SCENES 



December 5th of the latter year. From this humble beginning 
the present magnificent system has grown by successive extensions 
and acquisitions; and to-day the Reading Railroad stands fore- 
most among the great railroad companies of America. 

Its main line reaches from Philadelphia to VVilliamsport, two 
hundred miles, with numerous branches diverging to Allentown, 




TUNNEL AT PIICENIXVILLE, PA. 



Lancaster, Harrisburg and other prominent cities ; and, in the 
Mahanoy and Schuylkill coal basins, the road forms an elaborate 
network of lines, which tap every portion of this famous coal and 
iron territory. Connecting at Williamsport with the Vanderbilt 
system of roads, it carries the immense traffic of that vast com- 
bination of lines to and from Philadelphia. 



SUMMER SYLVAN SCENES 




A branch ot 
the Reading, 
fifty-six miles 
long, known as 
the Bethlehem 
Branch (formerly the 
North Pennsylvania 
Railroad), runs from 
Philadelphia to Bethle- 
hem, connecting at the 
latter point with the 



SUMMER SYLVAN SCENES 



Central Railroad of New Jersey and with the Erie-Lehigh Valley 
lines and their affiliated systems in the West and in Canada. 

The New York Division, in conjunction with the Central 
Railroad of New Jersey, forms the far-famed and justly celebrated 




READING, PA 



New York and Philadelphia New Line, sometimes called the 
Bound Brook Route. On this division the business of trans- 
porting human freight has been brought to its highest develop- 
ment; as in construction, equipment and general excellence of

serviLt It ranks as 

ont, of the fint-st lines 

of railway in the world. 

At its New York terminus, 

connections are made with 

the rail and boat lines for all 

points in the New England States. 

The Reading Railroad thus occupies a position of commanding 
importance in its relations to the trunk lines ; and its influence, 
in questions eftecting through traffic, is correspondingly great. 
But while its through business is of considerable volume, the 
unvarying policy of the Company has been to foster and promote 



SUMMER SYLVAN SCENES 



its local business ; and the wisdom of such policy, persistently 

enforced, is demonstrated by the enviable condition of its local 

business on the Germantown and Norristown Branch, Bethlehem 

Branch and New York Branch. Philadelphia 

is not oiiK till scat oi enormous ^ ^fe 

manufactunn^j industries, but __ ^ 

is also the commercial centre 

of a \ ast and highly 

productive 




tnbutary territory, 
and is also pecu-

Man) thousands 
of the persons t nyaged 
in \ari()us pursuits in the city 
make their homes m tlu beau- 
tiful suburbs that lie to the 
northward of Philadelphia ; and the 
daily transportation of this class constitutes a highly important 
and remunerative feature of the Reading's business. One of the 
divisions which has occupied considerable attention of the Company

SUMMER SYLVAN SCENES 



recently has been the New Jersey Division, which connects Phila- 
delphia with Atlantic City, the largest and most celebrated sea-side 
resort in America. The main line of this division is frequently 
designated "The Atlantic City Short Line," on account of being the 




PUTTSVILLE, PA. 



most direct route to the queen of sea-side pleasuring places. The 
branches of this division and their direct connections reach the chief 
commercial and manufacturing centres of Southern New jersey. 

Besides tapping a territory comprising many large and pros- 
perous manufacturing cities and towns and the rich mineral and 



SUMMER SYLVAN SCENES 



agricultural regions, the Reading's lines reach a large variety 
of picturesque pleasure places, which, owing to their admirable 
location, easy accessibility, and by virtue of their many natural 
beauties and advantages, render them dear to many as places of

recreation or on account of their invigorating and health-giving 
climates. Among these places are the numerous sea-side resorts 
that are located along the New Jersey coast, the most prominent 
of which is Atlantic City, that peerless and charming city by 
the sea. Atlantic City for many years was known only as a 
summer resort ; but, of late years, the medical fraternity, the 
invalid and persons desirous of relaxation from the cares of 
business or the social whirl, have begun to recognize the superior 
claims of the city as a winter resort and sanitarium; and now 
many thousands migrate to this popular pleasuring place during

both the winter and summer seasons, and all pay tribute to its 
many charms and beauties, and testify to the fact that no better 
sanitarium can be found than exists here. 

Those who prefer the mountains to the sea-shore can readily 
find a spot to suit them in the mountainous district penetrated 
by the Reading Railroad, no matter how fasddious their tastes 
may be. The Schuylkill and Mahanoy regions, traversed by this 




I Rom LLHll l[ UM\ I RSITY. 



line, contain many localities dedicated almost exclusively to pleasure 
seekers. The most noted of these resorts are Eaele's Mere and 



SUMMER SYLVAN SCENES 



Highland Lake, situated on a spur of the great Alleghenies ; the 
former in Sullivan county and the latter in Lycoming county. 
This territory was until recently unknown to the pleasure tourist; 
but, once having been invaded, it at once became very popular, 
owing to the magnificence of the scenery, the diversified means 




LA.NCAbTt.R, PA. 



of recreation and the health-giving properties of the atmosphere, 
which is permeated with the invigorating fragrance of the pine 
and hemlock trees which abound in this country. 

Then again there are many who have a preference for 
suburban life. To such we would say, that the most charming 
of rural spots in Eastern Pennsylvania are located along the lines 



SUMMER SYLVAN SCENES 



of the Philadelphia and Reading Railroad. The territory traversed 
by the Bethlehem Branch, New York Branch, and the Germantown 
and Norristown Branches, are particularly adapted for out-of-town 
homes. The country along these branches is already becoming 
thickly populated by those who have recognized the benefits 
accruing to a home beyond the turmoil of a large city. The 
Company, in order to keep pace with its constantly increasing 




LOCK HAVEN, PA. 



local traffic, has been continually augmenting its train facilities, 
until at present the service, comprises trains to and from points 
on each of these branches every few minutes in the day. 

The equipment in service on all the divisions of the Reading 
Railroad is the finest obtainable, and the employes of the road 
are at all times respectful and attentive, thus insuring to the 
traveler fast time, comfortable and even lu.xurious accommodations 



SUMMER SYLVAN SCENES 




and courteous con- 
sideration. The 
officials of the 
Company have pur- 
sued the most lib- 
eral policy in the 
management of the 
great property in 
their control, and 
the result of such 
policy is clearly in- 
dicated by the su- 
perior condition of 
its roadway, mag- 
nificence of equip- 
ment, and the 
admirable and effi- 
cient system in 
vogue in the trans- 
action of its busi- 
ness. The road is 
laid with the best 
and heaviest steel

of the finest and most improved construction, replete with 
all the luxurious appointments known to modern railroad car 
building. The road also has in service every danger-lessening 
device known to science ; and passengers via the Philadelphia and 
Reading Line can seat themselves in one of the magnificent 




PACIFIC AVENUE, ATLANTIC CITV, N. J. 



coaches and feel assured that they will reach their destination in 
perfect safety. Another excellent feature of the Reading Road 
is the quick time made on its lines. The fastest time ever made 
on any railroad in the world was made on the Philadelphia and 
Reading Railroad's New York Line, when ninety-two miles was 
run in ninety-three minutes ; one mile being made in lorty-six

seconds. While the trains do not usually run at this tremendous 
high rate of speed, yet the road still maintains a train service 
that cannot be excelled in speed or general efficience. 

How glad we feel when we can truly and heartily say that 
the summer has come at last in all its plenitude of light and 
warmth, and that out of doors everything is rich in fragrance ! 
fragrance exquisite! of new-mown hay, of wild thyme, dewy 
washed. What hopes we had built upon its advent. To us it 
means forgetfulness of winter, the chilling frost, and snow, and

suffering. It means that the fickle days of spring are gone also. 
Summer means liberty, romping, frolic, fun ; breakfasting with 
open windows, and with the song of birds echoing through the 
house or the cozy tent. It means pleasant saunterings in the 
open air, in the woods, by the sea-shore, among the mountains, 
everywhere enjoying life to the full. It means the early morning 
walk in the dewy forest, when the shafts of light look wet 
and oreen ; and lone lineerine in the crarden at nigrht, when the 
"mild twilight, like a silver clasp, unites to-day with yesterday.

and Morning and Evening sit together, hand in hand, beneath 
the starless sky of midnight." The woods are just now in their 
fullest leaf. These days have come, but these days will go. 
The chequered tints of autumn will all too quickly make their 
appearance. So let us make the most of these green fields and 
mountain nooks ; these country pleasures, and fleeting marvels of 
sweet Nature in her happiest and loveliest moods. If we need 
rest, let us seek it where it is freely offered, and where it

may be found. Let us enjoy the glad summer while it lasts 
and feel the infinite bliss of nature throbbing in every vein. 

When the sweet breath of May steals in through the open 
casement, the weary clerk jumps down from his stool, the editor 
throws down his quill, the merchant forgets his ledger, the city 
clerg)man asks for his vacation, the lawyer grows weary of the 
court-room, and each, packing up his valise, draws a long breath, 
heaves a sigh — the pent-up feelings of a long winter's toil — and 
exclaims in a tone that admits of no doubt or denial, " I must 
get away from work ; I must go on a summer excursion." And 
so they must, and will. But then comes up the all-important 
query, "Where shall we go ? " Go where nature offers a mingling 
of the accessible and picturesque, the secluded haunts in wood 
and dell, where we can see the branches of the trees bend 
down o"ur touch to meet, and the clover-blossoms in the grass 
rise up to kiss our feet.

This is one of the great objective points. The whole scene is

properly known as Moyer's Rock, and possesses a traditional

Mahoniny Valley, four miles 
south, who had hitherto eluded 
all attempts at capture, was sur- 
rounded, taken prisoner, and 

disarmed, by five Indian warriors, and left on the summit of this 
rock for security, guarded by two of their number, while the 
others hunted for game. Moyer was sorely perplexed. To fight 
alone two armed Indians was not to be thought of; and long he 
pondered. Suddenly starting he listened intently, then rela.xed

The Indians watched 
him unmoved. Again 
he started; and, 
creeping to the very

his countenance all 
the interest he could command, he gazed intently down. The ruse 
succeeded ; overcome by curiosity, the Indians unguardedly moved 
to his side, and sought to discover the interest, when, with the 
spring of the tiger, he seized and dashed them to the rocks below. 

The visitor to Glen Onoko should be well shod, as well as

of the Glen, some nine hundred feet above the Lehigh, runs the 
old Warrior Path, being the war-trail used, it may be for 
centuries, by the Indians in passing from the Susquehanna to the 
Delaware. It was also traversed by General Sullivan and his

from which we could at first see nothing 

but fog, up, down or around. It was 

a misty morning, but we made out to understand that we were 

on the verge of a precipice which fell sheer down into a 

tremendous abyss; and when the fog lifted, as it did about noon, 

we looked out upon miles and miles of valleys partly cleared, 

but principally covered with the primeval forest. 

We were on Prospect Rock then. Presently our guide took 
us, by a roundabout way, to Cloud Point, a corresponding pro- 
jection, on the other side of the Glen, and here a still wider 
view lay before us. We gazed on the beautiful landscape until 
we thought we could afford to leave it for a while, and then 
descended into Glen Thomas, so called in honor of David Thomas, 



SUMMER SYLVAN SCENES 




the pioneer of the iron trade of the Lehigh. It was the first of 
May, but we found here miniature glaciers formed by the water 
falling over the rocks, the ice three feet and more in thickness, 
and so solid that a pistol-ball fired at it point-blank rebounded 
as from a rock, while not a hundred yards away May flowers 
were blooming in fragrant abundance. 

But I cannot remain even in this beautiful place. I must on. 
I may not tell of our carriage ride into the Mahoning Valley, with 
its pleasant views and drives ; nor of mountain climbing at Mauch 



SUMMER SYLVAN SCENES 



Chunk ; nor of the flying visit we paid to Wilkesbarre and Scranton 
in the beautiful Wyoming Valley ; nor of the day we spent in the 
quaint and pleasant Moravian town of Bethlehem. All these 
things must remain untold, but the reader can enjoy them all 
for himself at small cost of time or money. He can see the 
Lehigh Valley, Switchback and all, in a single day, returning to 
Philadelphia the same evening, or he can spend a whole summer 
in exploring the woods and mountains of this delightful region. 




His best plan, however, for a short trip, is to leave Philadel- 
phia or New York on the early train, timing himself so that he 
can be at the Mansion House, Mauch Chunk, in time for dinner. 
After dinner he will have plenty of time to go over the Gravity 
Road and return in time for supper. Next morning an early 
train will take him to White Haven, where he can change cars 
and run up the Nescopeck Road to Upper Lehigh, which he will 



SUMMER SYLVAN SCENES 



reach about noon. Here he will have ample time to dine and 
explore Glen Thomas, but not to see all the fine views from this 
singular mountain-top, if he would return by the afternoon train. 
This train makes connections for both Philadelphia and New 
York, either of which can be reached the same evening ; but a 
third day can be profitably spent at Upper Lehigh, and part of a 
fourth in exploring Glen Onoko, one of the greatest attractions 
about Mauch Chunk, but accessible from that place only on foot. 
It demands a hard walk and a hard climb, but offers in return a 
scene of wild and rugged magnificence which in all mountain 
climbing has never been excelled. 

No tourist should fail to see this most extraordinary glen. 
Its ever varying beauties may be gazed on for hours, as one 
would gaze entranced on a moving panorama, unmindful of all 
else, and regardless of the lapse of time.

BEER FOR FAMILIES. 

The; great disadvantage that has heretofore stood in the way of the general introduction 
of Beer among families, has be^n the impossibility of keeping it in good condition for 
any considerable time. This difficulty is now thoroughly overcome by the process known as 
" Steaming," by which the healthful and invigorating character of the Beer is not at all affected; 
while its keeping qualities are wonderfully improved. The practical application of this process 
in its most advanced state enables us to offer our Extra Gold Seal Beer with the confident 
certainty that it will fill every requirement and give that satisfaction that the most exacting 
taste now universally demands. This Beer is not only brewed by us; but it is bottled in our 
own establishment under our own supervision. It is packed in casks and half casks holding 
ten dozen and five dozen pints respectively, and each bottle is attractively labeled and capsuled, 
making a welcome addition to the table. 

Shipped to all parts of the State at the rate of $10.00 per Cask, freight prepaid. 
Further information upon its merits, etc., cheerfully furnished on application.

America are met by

who wisely recognize

which has already 
surpassed all others. 
It offers endless 
variety of scenery to 
charm and interest 
the eye and mind. 

Putting aside for 
a time North, East

new region, which is 
known as the great

of the magnificent — a new empire which 
stretches to the Gulf of Mexico and the country of the Aztecs, 
and unlimited in natural resources, varied in soil, abounding in 
wealth hitherto undreamed of, in superb scenery and delightful 
climate. To any one who has never traveled through the South- 
west, it is like entering an undiscovered country. Not a moment 
passes that something interesting is not presented to view. Nature

the bent of Nature's mood. The immense ranches and ranges 
on which thousands of cattle graze, the vast farms and plantations, 
the thriving cities which seem to have sprung from the ground 




in a day, give evidence of the wealth and enterprise which 
prevail everywhere. The State of Texas is an empire in itself,

to the Missouri, Kansas and Texas, and the journey toward the 
Sunny South is commenced. After running through the thriving 
towns and rapidly developing country of Southwestern Missouri, 
the road passes through a corner of Kansas, and then rushes 
into Indian Territory. The road traverses this magnificent strip 
of land to its southern boundary, disclosing interesting views 
of the civilization which has been grafted in the aboriginal races. 
Phases of life and passing glances of races, which in many 








respects are fascinating, are obtained in this way only. There 
is no other route which passes through the heart of Indian 
Territory and offers opportunity to see the aboriginal people in 
their homes and under their own government. A trip over this 
road will bring the traveler to parts in the South where it seems 
as if a magic wand had been passed over the country% transforming 
nature in its wildest state into populous cities and prosperous 
towns, putting railroads where there were only savage trails, and 



SUMMER SYLVAN SCENES 



building, as in a day, all the evidences of high modern civilization, 
with its industries, schools and beautiful homes. 

Let us glance briefly at this southern land. Running through 
Fort Worth, Waco, and many smaller towns, we come to the 
International and Great Northern, which leads to the Rio Grande 
and the Mexican border. There is e.xquisite scenery on the line 
of the road which fills the eye with beauty. One of the 
curiosities of nature, duplicating the wonderful natural bridge of 
Virginia, is a natural bridge in Rockwell county, under which a 
clear stream bubbles over mossy rocks, forming deep pools, where 
the finest fish may be caught. Here, when snow and ice are the 
proper things in the Northern States, the farmers may he seen 
preparing the land for the spring crops. On the International 
the most beautiful scenery is presented to view, with the surface 
rolling and broken in places, but frequently 
smooth, and abounding in natural vegetation. 
Austin, a short distance beyond Taylor, is a 
charming city. It is surrounded by rich farming 
lands, and it has many beautiful residences, 
situated on lofty eminences. Being the 
^ capital of the State, it is the centre of 
^ social distinction. There are magnifi- 

" , cent public buildings, 

one of the finest 
hotels (the Driskill) 
in the country, and 
the capitol, which is 
in course of erection, 
will be surpassed in 
cost and orrandeur

only by the superb 

structure at Albany, 

New York. The 

State University is 

also located here, and, 

with the Colorado 

River flowing b)' it, 

the city is full of 

interest. 

Going further 

south, historic San 

Antonio is reached. 
Here the progressive 

civilization of America meets the quaint civilization ol tfie Aztecs 

and the Spaniards. There, too, are blended in San Antonio the 

adobe ami the stone and iron fronts hobnobbing together. There 
is, perhaps, no city which is more fascinating to the traveler than 
San Antonio. It is surrounded by a beautiful country, made 
picturesque by the shining thread of the San Pedro River. The 
town itself is quaint and pretty, with its ancient churches presenting 
types of architecture which are singularly picturesque and in 
strong contrast with the modern buildings of the American 
population. Here a genuine touch of Mexican life is given in 
the people and the homes. Chief however, in charm is the 
Alamo, the shrine of Texan independence, where the blood of 
heroes was spilled for liberty. The high location of the city, with 
its mild, bracing air and delightful climate, make it admirable 
and popular for all in delicate health. When one cannot live 
elsewhere, he can enjoy life at San Antonio, and thousands of 
invalids go there every winter, and even in summer (the nights

From this point the road 
runs to Laredo and the 
Rio Grande. 

Running from Denison 
by the east branch of the 
road, the same evidence 
of natural beauty and re- 
sources is found on 
every hand. Palestine 
one of the wonders 
of the State in the 
way of rapid growth 
is passed, and then 
the land begins to 
slope toward the Gulf of 
Mexico. The entire aspect 
of the country changes, and, after Houston is passed, the traveler 
is in the rich and fertile lowlands of the extreme South. 

This is the land of corn, sugar-cane and cotton, and is not 
without its interesting qualities. At the end of the trip, however, 
is a treat in the beautiful " Oleander City " — Galveston — with its 
magnificent harbor, where the stately ships ride at anchor, and 
where is the finest beach in America. The lovely waters of the 
Gulf make soft and swelling music for Galveston, and the gentle, 
spice-laden breeze, that blows over its shining bosom, cools and 
refreshes weary humanity in midsummer ; while in winter, if such 
a season can be mentioned, the same breeze blows balmy and 
warmth-giving from the waters which sweep around the world 




SU.\n[ER SYLVAN SCENES 




and tempers the climate 
of other and bleaker 
shores. Galveston is a 
garden where flowers ever 
bloom, and it is filled with 
wealth and refinement. No 
pleasanter resort to escape 
the rigors of a Northern 
winter can be found. 

An interesting trip is

Kansas and Texas, so that either route is equally convenient. Going 
west, however, over nearly the entire breadth of the State, gives 
one a splendid idea not only of its vast area, but also of the 
character of the country. A short distance west of Fort Worth, 
the Brazos River is crossed, and the train rushes through high, 
rolling prairies, broken here and there with growths of oak, ash.

pecan, hickory and walnut, and, on the hill-sides, cedar. As the 
journey progresses west the timber becomes smaller, except in 
the valle\s r.nd on the loftier eminences, where tall pines and 




cedars grow.. There are elevations where magnificent views of 
characteristic Texas landscapes may be obtained. Mesquite may 
be seen in abundance. The scenery becomes more of a distinct 
type, and interesting vistas pass before the eye at every ■ turn. 
It is here that nature is found in its primitive state, with the

exception of the settlements which are found along the line. At 
the Pecos River an entirely different land formation, and one 
which is exceedingly curious and interesting, commences. Here 
the extreme base of the Rocky Mountains begins, and it rises 
northwestwardly — not gradually, at a gentle slope, but by enormous 
steps. It is the grand stairway to the sublime peaks that divide 
the continent. The huge steps are from fifty to five hundred 
feet high, and the plateaux above extend from fifty to one hundred 
miles on a level, until another and higher plain is reached. The 
level surface above each step forms beautiful valleys or coves, 
which are protected from the cold winds that come from the north 
and west. The train climbs the Sierra Blanco Mountains until 
an elevation of five thousand feet is gained. From this lofty 
point, and through picturesque surroundings, the road sweeps 
down to El Paso, the gateway to old Mexico.
